Like Rick, I am finding your description(s) difficult  to follow. Maybe:

*https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/reshape.shtml*
<https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/reshape.shtml>

TRMM(time,lat,lon)      ==> (ntim,nlat,mlon)

  T2D = *reshape*(TRMM, (/ntim,nlat*mlon/))
  *copy_VarCoords*(TRMM(:,0,0), T2D)
  T2D!1 = "pts"
  *printVarSummary*(T2D)

 T2D_TimeLat = TRMM(:,:,0)
 *printVarSummary*(T2D_TimeLat)

 T2D_TimeLon = TRMM(:,0,:)
* printVarSummary*(T2D)
